Return To Me

A New Deal

**With Dean**:

 One night Dean decided to go out to the bar, he needed to escape reality for awhile. He left his room and headed for the door when Kane stopped him, Dean turned to him annoyed and asked what he wanted.

 "What Kane?"

 "Hunter and Stephanie sent me to find you!" Kane answered, everyone in The Authority had noticed a change in Dean, but none of them said anything to him.

 "Alright, thanks." Dean said, before he headed up the stairs to Hunter's office.

 Once at the door, he knocked before he went inside to find Orton and Barrett talking to Hunter and Stephanie.

 "There you are! Good, now all three of you are here!" Steph said smiling. 

 "What's going on?" Dean asked, as he shut the door and leaned against it.

 "We wanted to talk to the three of you because we have a job for you!" Hunter said smiling. "It involves people you three are very familiar with!"

 "Wyatts!" Dean said angrily.

 "That's right! You see Bray called and wanted to do a little buy from us for a job he's planning."

 "What kind of job?" Dean asked.

 "Some kind of bank heist out of town, but he's in need of some toys since the Feds took his!" Hunter explained.

 "Why come to us?" Dean questioned.

 "We're the only ones around that can get him what he needs...for a price of course! He's paying us $50,000 for a few of our toys! They've already been boxed and loaded into a truck, all you three have to do is meet them, get the money and deliver the package, simple! Dean's in charge, you all know what to do, you've dealt with them before so you know how they work!" Hunter explained.

 "Alright, we'll leave now!" Dean said. "Is it going down at our usual spot?"

 "Yep! Randy, Wade you two go get the truck, we want to talk to Dean for a minute!" Steph ordered.

 "Yes ma'am!" Randy said, as they left.

 "What's up?" Dean asked.

 "Dean, are you okay? You haven't been yourself for a few months now, ever since you came back from helping your friend." Stephanie asked gently.

 "I'm fine, really! Just a little tired, I guess." Dean answered lying, he had no idea that everyone else had noticed his change.

 "Dean, if you're in any kind of trouble you know you can tell us right?" Hunter added.

 "Everything's fine, honestly!" Dean answered.

 "Dean, are you and Paige...together?" Stephanie asked.

 "Together?"

 "In a relationship? If you are that's okay!" Steph added.

 "Uh, yeah! We are, but we've been fighting a lot lately, you know how it is!" Dean answered quickly.

 "Okay, well as long as it doesn't affect your jobs in the family we're okay with it!" Hunter said smiling.  

 "It won't, I promise! I should go, we'll be back soon!" Dean said, as he quickly left.

 Dean hated using Paige as his excuse, but he couldn't tell them the truth! He knew Paige would chew him out for it, but he was used to it and he'd make it up to her somehow.

**With Seth**:

 Seth sat at his desk going over case notes, Ford was out doing whatever the hell it was he did; Seth was grateful for the break, Ford was really pissing him off today! Ford had no idea about the parts missing from the file, Seth had taken everything back to his hotel and burnt it in their fireplace while Roman slept. Even if by some coincidence either Dean or Paige ended up getting arrested, they had nothing on either of them, so no one would think to connect them to The Authority!  

 As Seth sat starring out the window trying to figure out how he was going to find two professional criminals who's job required them to be invisible, Ford rushed in smiling. 

 "Why are you so happy? You finally going back to the bureau?" Seth asked sarcastically.

 "I wish! No, I just got off the phone with my SI!" Ford answered.

 "You mean Carter Brooks?" Seth asked.

 "Yes, anyway he learned that The Authority and The Wyatt Family are meeting up at their usual spot; wherever the hell that is, to make a little exchange!"

 "I know where it is, he know who The Authority are sending?" Seth asked nervously.

 "Didn't say, but with a deal this big it'll be top guys for sure!" Ford answered.

 "Not necessarily, The Authority are smart! They like to send a mix of guys; especially with us around! It'll be top and lower to middle ranking guys sent!" Seth lied, needing to cover his ass in case Dean was involved.

 "Either way we need to go now! I already got back up in place, you drive!" 

 "Let's go!" Seth said getting up.

**Later**: 

 Dean sat in the back of the truck starring out the window, as he played with his ring. He was tired of being Hunter and Stephanie's bitch, he was tired of hurting, and he was tired of being alone! He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't realize they had arrived until Randy spoke, and so Dean quickly became Authority Dean!

 "There they are!" Randy stated.

 "I see them! Same three idiots as before!" Dean said, as they watched the Wyatts.

 "We doing this the usual way?" Wade asked.

 "Yep! You two get the package unloaded on my signal; watch each others backs while doing it! Once we have the money we get the hell out of here! No matter what though, we need to keep our eyes open and expect the unexpected! Let's do this boys!" Dean said, as they got out and joined the Wyatts.
